Kleiberg Pastoral Landscape
Nature Reserve/Natural Landmark
The former Büecke military training area, now known as the Kleiberg pastureland, is a 230-hectare Natura 2000 site that has been protected since 2004. It lies like a green island amid the fertile fields of the Haarstrang. Species worthy of protection here include the yellow-bellied toad, the red kite, and the red-backed shrike. Their populations are expected to grow again.
The two endangered species, the thousand-gold herb and the thorny hawkweed, are found in the nutrient-poor open land.

Promoting nature conservation and tourism are the primary goals of this ERDF project, which is funded equally by the European Union and the state of North Rhine-Westfalen.
To this end, ponds and pools were created, pastures for cattle and horses were established, and three observation hills and trails were built. The new“Alter Soestweg”bike route now connects Soest and Möhnesee directly and offers magnificent views of the fascinating cultural landscape. Three beautiful Schledden valleys have been made visible again through the creation of trails. Along the hiking trails, information signs provide details about the nature, culture, and history of the old military training ground.
Wide, open areas in the center and west are grazed year-round by a few semi-wild horses and cattle. This creates a mosaic of open spaces interspersed with clusters of shrubs and small woods. Other areas are kept open by sheep.
The Liz offers interesting excursions through the nature reserve and has developed GPS tours for exploring nature on the Kleiberg.
